Status Updates From All the Little Lies

“I love you.”
I angled my chin up and locked onto his dark gaze. “I love you, too. Always.”
He nodded. “Always.”

I LOVE THEM ALWAYS

“So, what do you think? You can paint the walls if you want, any color.” Ann stood in the middle of my new bedroom, wearing jeans and an old T-shirt. Her blonde hair was in a bun on her head, and I couldn’t remember ever seeing her this relaxed. 
“It seems silly to paint my room when I’m going off to college in the fall.”

OH MY GOD HAYLEY AND ANN 😭😭

“you’ve always been the one to save me, Christian. You’ve always been my safe place, the one person I could think of when the sky grew dark. When all the little lies tasted bitter on my tongue, you were the one truth I couldn’t hide from. It’s you. It’s always been you.”

I love them.

“His playful smile, his gray eyes. He was my light in the darkest time of my life, and it was still true today. Christian was my safe place. He had always been my safe place—my person.”

HAYLEYCHRISTIAN ARE MY SAFE PLACE 😭😭

“Don’t you ever stop fighting for the person you love, Christian. Do you hear me?”
I swallowed back a rough lump in my throat. “I hear you.”

HayleyChristian you will always be famous

“You won’t lose her because you’re fighting for her. And when a Powell man fights for someone he loves, he always wins.” My father started to roll up his sleeves as if he were ready to fight someone. “I fought for your mother once, and I won. The problem was, I stopped fighting.”

😭😭😭

“Hayley was the casualty in her parents’ choices, and I was going down right with her.”

.

“Hayley had the ability to make everyone around her fall in love with her. She radiated in a room, drawing loud attention to her quiet beauty.”

My baby angel

“I fucking love you, Hayley. And I know that probably makes you recoil because you’re not used to being loved and cared for, but I do. I fucking love you, and we’re going to figure this out. Whatever it takes. I’m not letting someone take you away from me. I’ve already lost you once. I’m not doing it again.”

SOULMATISM

“Christian, I think they found me.”

NO

“Butterflies swarmed my stomach 24/7, and they were the good ones. Not the dreadful, ominous ones with black wings. ”

When will I get the good ones

“Christian, the unattainable king, was no longer single. And to everyone’s surprise, the girl to snag him was one from the wrong side of the tracks. ”

MY BABIES STOP IT

“This has always beat for you. Even when I wanted to hate you, it beat for you.”

MY SOULMATES

“I’m not your property, Christian.” If I were to look at her face, I could guarantee she was rolling her eyes and scowling. 
“Maybe not, but I’m yours.” 

I clicked my fingers btw

“You are,” he whispered, moving in and out of me slowly. “You are perfect.” ”

Only time he’s been correct

“Christian,”—my father’s gaze swept the room—“your mom was using pills well before the crash. And she got the majority of them from the drug dealers that Hayley’s father was laundering money for.”
The word sounded strangled as it came out of my mouth “No.”


OH WHAT THE PICKLE

“It’s your fault. I won’t turn my back on Hayley just because her life is hard, so don’t ask me to.”

Pls don’t make me cry in class

“It felt like the bomb inside my chest that had been ticking since Mom died had finally exploded. My pain from the memory was quickly morphed into unmatched anger”

Christian I love you.
